Cars 3 is quite possibly the most fun I have ever had on a project. It was quite literally pedal to the metal from the jump as the film was pulled up by over 9 months in the production schedule as Toy Story 4 was placed back into development. I spent the bulk of the production shading various environments and set pieces, but I am most proud of the work on the set called Thomasville. This abandoned track was a joy to work on as I did most of the shading work on my own in less than a month. This set was nominated for a VES Award for “Outstanding Created Environment in a Feature Animated Project” in 2017.
